My grandmother bought me a necklace as my birthday present when I was a toddler. She passed away when I was a kid. My mom kept it from me for over 20 years and only just informed me about that necklace recently. My mom has kept it in a drawer untouched for years. The necklace can only fit a toddler so I can’t wear it now. Also due to recent job loss, I’m more focus on financial stability than any other things. I don’t feel comfortable wearing expensive jewelry due to fear of robbery and theft.
Recently during my birthday, my mom offered to give me a bracelet which she dislikes its design and also can’t fit her. My mom doesn’t wear jewelry and my grandmother did not wear jewelry as well. I’m not sure why these jewelry were purchased but I guess it was for investment or financial security for future generations. After I accepted one bracelet, my mom decided to give me a few bracelet that she can’t fit in and had been left untouched for years. Some of the bracelets were bought by my grandmother and some by my mom but I’m not sure which is which. I sent her a text message to acknowledge receiving these gifts from her along with acknowledging receiving my late grandmother’s gift to me.
Recently, I also plan to move out from my parents’ house because my parents set many rules for me even though I’m an adult in my mid 20s. I have severe insomnia and anxiety living with them. I also have many physical symptoms which my doctor attributed them to stress. Some examples of their rules are that I’m permanently banned from dating and my belongings are searched and confiscated or discarded without warning.
As I’m an only child and also the last descendant of my bloodline since I don’t plan to have children, I will be the last person in the family to own these jewelry. I’m thinking of selling most jewelry to fund my moving out and returning one piece of bracelet to my mom as keepsake or memory of my grandmother. I wonder AITA if I sell these jewelry to move out? Or should I move them into a bank safe deposit to protect them from being confiscated or taken away by burglars but yet continue to live with them even though my stress and severe insomnia makes it harder to find and sustain a job?
